COVID-19 Safety Protocols

We are committed to protecting our clients.

Keeping You and Your Family Safe

To help ensure the best standards for infection control at Kimberly A. Rice, DDS, our office uses a high-performance air purifier, IQAir Dental Series. This system prevents infectious airborne aerosols from ever leaving our dental operatories.

We take preventative measures every day at our Ypsilanti MI dental office. Please read on to learn more or call us directly at (734) 434-3820 if you have any questions.

Here’s what to expect:

Access your patient registration forms online…Get your forms…, and please wear a mask when you visit.
You’ll complete a 60-second mouth rinse before treatment to reduce the spread of germs.

Here’s what we do behind the scenes:

All rooms sit idle for the required time to allow aerosols to settle, and we clean them thoroughly before the next patient.
Our chairs are spaced 6 feet apart for social distancing.
We’ve equipped the whole office with HEPA air filters.
Daily screening, temperature checks, and continuous training on COVID-19 safety protocols help our team ensure your safety.
Our staff wears respirator masks, surgical masks, face shields, hair covers, gloves, and water-resistant gowns. Additionally, we spray clinical staff shoes overnight.
During the day, we continually clean all frequently touched surfaces and patient rooms after each use. The whole office receives a deep cleaning twice per week.
